While bow hunting near Fire River, Ontario, Richard Wesley came across a black bear roaming in the woods about 100 feet away. When the animal starts walking toward him, he initially stands up and starts shouting to scare it off, but then the bear charges. Fortunately, the man got away with just some minor bruises, after heroically punching the bear in the face.

I am so happy after this confrontation with a black bear during our spring hunt. No wounds except a bruised elbow and ego where the bear threw me down. Genuinely happy that this was a non fatal or tragic outcome. Proving that the black bear is a wild and unpredictable animal. Again so happy with the outcome.
